A THANKSGIVING SERMON.

OF all the days that have been set apart
MS sacred to the people of this country, two
stand forth in holy radiance rs the out
come of the pures sentiments. The one
is Decoration day, and the other Thanks
giving. The one was born in loving men,
DRY OF the dead, and the other in gratitude
to the bountiful Giver of all we enjoy.
The flowers we lay upon the graves of our
soldiers ana lost ones are not sweeter than
the thanks we offer today. Some, indeed,
may not give articulate sound to their
thanks, but it is safe to say that in all
this broad land there is not one person
whose heart, whether it is weighed down
by sorrow or light with JOY, does not send
mt least one grateful thought toward the
source of all good, though perhaps they
are hardly conscious of il.
Gratitude for favors given is pure and
ennobling sentiment, and meet is it that
this youngest and most signally blessed
country should set apart one day wherein
the whole nation, as one soul, should bow
in silent thanks for all the bounties and
blessings We enjoy. We receive the feast
in the spirit of "a reminder that these
blessings are but part of the abundant
store; and with the feasting the thanks
giving rises like incense. Let there be no
empty tables in all the land, that not one
single heart fail to offer its need; and let
us all praise the Lord for his good
works, for his mercy endureth forever"

An Old Fashioned Dinner.

The following is the list of the dishes at
Thanksgiving dinner on Pennsylvania
farm. Everything with tho exception of
the pudding was placed upon the table at
once, to obviate the necessity of rising, as
the dear old hostess was none too strong
and kept no servants, and yet cooked it
all herself At the head Of the table was
n large chicken pie, in the middle two
roast chickens, and at the foot was an
enormous turkey, and opposite the chick
ems n roasted pig. There were fourteen
pies of different kinds, three large cakes,
crullers, preserves. pickles of four kinds,
boiled onions, mashed potatoes, and tur-
nips, apples, cheese nuts, custard, head
cheese, biscuit, brown and white bread,
and lastly big plum pudding, and coffee.
